Will there be a moomoo dress night to celebrate him? Yes, I know it's spelled muumuu.

I think Hawaii should look into acquiring another ball control outside. I know Roure will do fine in this category, but a backup that can do this as well is just as needed.
JT is a tall outside hitter, but we're not sure how his passing fares in real competition. Finn is a true opposite and converting him to the left side at the college level will take some time, same thing with Wade. I'm not saying neither will be able to get the hang of passing, but when it comes down to it what good is all that fire power if poor passing disrupts everything. Godforbid Roure goes down or decides to go pro early who's going to be next in line to handle passing duties?
It is definitely something to think about after how this season is going.

That other Outside, who could handle passing and receiving duties may be already on the team, in Louis Sakanoko. Need to remember, Louis Sakanoko showed up late, in January. Never really had any practice time, or working with the coaching staff, until this season started. After this season, Louis Sakanoko will have the whole off season to train and work with the coaching staff. |

That will happen after the season. |

Also in CEV U18, Boris Thumann and Viktor Speltinckx are some really good younger 6 rotation pins. Thumann is the better of the 2 and has the Dutch connection, maybe Stijn can persuade |

It is definitely something to think about after how this season is going. There's a few options there. Thimm of course will stay around, and while he's not the best passer, it will be a lineup the team is familiar with and his serve upside should continue to add value. Taylor is another possibility, and less of a defensive liability. Sakanoko is a potential choice (moving JTodd to OH1) once he gets an off season of practice reps. The wild card is Finn Kearney on that front. Inexperienced definitely, but Koav mentioned that Kearney's future is at the OH2 position. Whether he's ready for it is another matter but if that's the goal then he's probably the other option. |

The one BIG PLUS, going into next season is that Louis Sakanoko is getting valuable experience now in BIG Matches, which he would not have gotten if Spyros Chakas was healthy. I am saying this cause, Hawaii will be very young at the Outside and Opposite Hitting position, 2 Freshmen.
On another matter, would like to see Kurt Nusterer hit the weights in the off season, he needs to get a lot stronger. See Keoni Thiim going back to previous role of Serving Specialist, next season. Would like to see Tread Rosenthal work on his set location, become more consistent with his sets, and also become more of an offensive threat, in the front row. Tread also needs to work on becoming the Leader of this Hawaii Team, going forward. As for Louis Sakanoko, just work on passing and receiving.

He's hitting .238 on the season which includes 5-6 outings where he's hit negative. Next season he will start hitting .350+ automatically! I just needed to remember. |

Like the majority of 1st year players, Freshmen, they will have their Up and Down matches, hitting wise. So will the new Outside and Opposite Hitters coming next season. Do not expect any one of them to be consistently good the whole season. They will have their Up and Down matches.

I will expect more up and down matches but that also means we will get to see more players sub in and get some playing time too. I am kinda excited to see that. |

Do not expect any one of them to be consistently good the whole season. They will have their Up and Down matches. I have to disagree with you on this one. I just know that Roure and Titriyski will be day #1 starters with no major flaws. How can they when one comes from a country that has produced offensive weapons like Rado and A. Nikolov and the other comes from the program whose senior team is the reigning gold medalist? |
